about

Empire of Dirt - named after a crisp Sauvignon Blanc from Yarra Valley in Australia - is a story about a journey to discontent, resentment and burnout.

lyrics

I was born as a quiet man
With fire in my eyes

I left my home
To seek my way
Never to return

I would hear tales
Of history unfold
I would say words
that cherish my soul

In the land of riches and queens
I found my solace

And now my blood draws to unknown
Disguised in joy

I wasn't born a troubled man
Inside my heart in shards

I must reach
The highest skies
And I will seek
Only the great discomfort

Roots in the nothingness
Path firmly stuck in hope
Roots in the nothingness
Deprived, I am done

Was I born I troubled man
With a beacon in the north

Oh what did I bear?
